I only fished Flamingo the last week although it was busy in the parking lot never we had a crowd problem. I covered lots of water from Flamingo north to Ponce Deleon Bay on a few days and found fish in most areas.
This was a good week of fishing, Plenty of Tarpon bites. The girls and ladies did an excellent job of casting ,hooking and landing their fish. The Tarpon fishing should remain good for the next month. The full moon and Snook season opening seemed to slow my Snook down this week but the Tarpon. Steve and Stacy Staffer worked hard for their bites but Stacy ended up with a Slam of Tarpon, Snook and Redfish. Awesome day with them!
The Lancet Family was in for a treat today, it started out slow but ended up on fire. John , Gina and daughters Jackie and Mattie. Jackie had the hot hand early hooking 2 Tarpon, they caught some Trout and Snappers in first 30 minutes.
I have had a hot spot with no boats in the area for the last week, there has been a Shrimp run early in the Morning. The Tarpon have been going crazy popping them, we hooked lots of them until they shut off landing 6
Gina had caught a Trout early on added a Snook and a Redfish giving her a Slam, very nice. The girls did not stop casting all days and did an excellent job. John also added another Tarpon along with Jacks and Ladyfish.
On a fun day trip with my buddy Mitch we got into the same Tarpon action, we had some fish up to 40 lbs. plus a few Snook and a Goliath.
The full moon always has some effect on some of the fish, all in all a great week with some awesome families!
The end of summer has come so they say, it will still be 95 degrees here today. The fish eat with no problem thru the hot days we just have to find flowing water and bait. Once we do that we catch fish. If you would like to give it a try bring the wife and kids or your buddies. Its a fun day and in these times everyone needs to have some fun.
